Legally, on paper, yes. Just try it and see how far you get.
If you or anyone you know has successfully done this, then I would suggest you/they were lucky and not seen doing it.
I've done it probably a dozen times back in college. Mind you that at no point was I very drunk, but if I had one or two beers I thought it better for myself to turn around rather than try my luck. And let them try to pull you over for not going through the check point. As long as you don't drive away recklessly or give them a good reason to pull you over, then if they do decide to come after you, anything you get busted for will be thrown out if you take it to court. By law they have to have signs leading up to the check point and a spot that you can turn so that the check point is deemed "voluntary".
